Although not seeking individual celebrity, Rend Collective Experiment is nevertheless capturing the critics’ attention, as the reviews start to pour in:

“Are you still thirsting for more modern worship without all the gimmicks and cheese? Well look no further than Rend Collective Experiment from Ireland. They remind me of a mix between U2, Anathallo and The Glorious Unseen.” – Indie Vision Music

“When one considers the tidal wave of contemporary worship albums which today pour out on the Church, it is very rare for a new name in the CD racks to attract widespread excitement. But that’s exactly what has happened with the debut full length album by Northern Ireland’s Rend Collective Experiment…Lyrically the group skillfully manage to express the joy of a deep personal relationship with God without falling into cliché and create a rousing modern worship album. Expect to hear a lot more about this exciting ensemble in 2010 and beyond.” – CrossRhythms

“…the best album I have heard in the last 5 years. Rend Collective Experiment had made the album I had been waiting for my whole Christian life, and I don’t say these words lightly…Is Organic Family Hymnal a revolution in Christian music? Yes! So join the revolution and buy this album – this isn’t your traditional worship album-if anything it’s much more colorful…”” – Louder Than The Music (5 out of 5 Star review.)

“…Rend Collective Experiment don’t play by the rules… there are so many musical ideas in every track that sometimes they’re fighting for your attention… the most exciting debut album from a Christian artist since King of Fools [Delirious?]… Once you’ve heard them, there’s a good chance they’ll be yours too.” – Youthwork magazine
